Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older V-Shaped engines, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, front and rear crankshaft seals, or oil pan gaskets.

Misfiring cylinders

With 12 cylinders, the ignition system can sometimes fail, causing one or more cylinders to misfire, resulting in poor performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can stretch or wear out over time, leading to timing issues which can cause poor engine performance or even engine damage.

Cooling system problems

V12 engines generate a lot of heat, which can lead to cooling system failures such as radiator, water pump, or thermostat issues.

Fuel injector problems

V12 engines can suffer from clogged or failing fuel injectors, which can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel economy.

Spark plug wear

With 12 cylinders, spark plugs may wear out faster, leading to ignition problems and decreased engine performance.

Vacuum leaks

These can cause the engine to run lean, resulting in rough idling, stalling, or poor acceleration.

Sensor failures

Older engines like the 2005 model can experience issues with sensors such as the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, O2 sensors, or crankshaft position sensors, leading to various engine performance issues.

Electronic control unit (ecu) issues

The ECU can develop faults or software glitches that affect engine management and performance.
